“Michael was nice, professional, on time and attentive. It’s our first time having someone else walking Rocoto and he seems to love Michael. We appreciate the good communication and the photo updates which gave us a piece of mind. We will definitely be looking to hire his services in the future.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was ten years old. Family members and neighbors have counted on me to take care of their pets for years, including pets of all ages and with medical needs. I have an incredible attention to detail and will treat your pets as my own. I am also willing to care for pets other than cats and dogs. I specifically have experience with leopard geckos, guinea pigs, and parrots, and my experience volunteering in wildlife rehabilitation would allow me to assist with any exotic. I'm currently self-employed, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your precious pets. I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking every day of the week. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, and I will be sure to follow all instructions given to me. Keeping your pets safe will be my priority. You can trust that your pets will be safe and happy while they are in my care. If I am staying in your home, I will do my best to make sure my impact on the space is as minor as possible and the only evidence that I was there will be a happy pet!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teen. My neighbors and friends entrusted their pets in my care and knew they were in good hands I work from home monday-friday and have a flexible schedule. I can set my schedule as needed and am home a lot on the weekends I leash my pet while taking him on a walk and let him stop to smell. I will follow the instructions that the pet owner gives me
About: I’ve always been passionate about animal welfare and care. There has never been a time I have not owned animals and currently has 4 cats and 1 dog. My experience stretches further as I have experience with anywhere from small animals such as chinchillas and guinea pigs to horses and previously working as a vet managing 90 baby deer. I share a lot of love and attention with my animals and would be happy to share that time and dedication with yours! I have a full time career in Human Resources for a large local employer where I work remote which has allowed me to have so many of my own fur babies! I am pretty flexible and wouldn’t accept a job where I couldn’t meet your animals needs. I have four cats that are well adjusted to dogs (including my neighbors 90 lb golden retriever) and a very social dog that my husband takes to the dog park 4 days a week. I also don’t mind staying at other persons homes as I have before with our neighbors and friends. You can expect that I will always treat your home and privacy with the utmost respect—just as I would want someone to do in my own home. If you have specific rules or instructions, you can count on me to follow them carefully and consistently.
About: I have had animals since I was very young so lots of experience. Have owned 3 rescue dogs who are just like members of my family. Recently, I have been helping friends with their animals when they vacation and am looking to extend my client group to the local area. I am very active so walking dogs is very enjoyable for me. I am free most mornings and nights and have longer breaks during my work day that would allow flexibility for drop ins and walks all week. I am able to come to your home and provide for your pet's needs including walks, feeding, potty breaks etc. I've even been known to clean a litter box or two. Can provide references upon request.
“We have a reactive dog that needs time, space and discipline. Sidney is very friendly, understanding and willing to work with us to make our pup comfortable. We are happy to book her again!”

About: I used to watch my son's dog at home with me during the day. He is a rescue with a history of abuse and scared of almost everyone. I worked calmly and gently to build his trust. They moved and I greatly miss his companionship and our trips to the dog park. They have added a second rescue/breeder surrender with more anxiety issues. I've done extended/overnight stays at their home and now gained his trust as well. I LOVE going to the dog parks and taking walks. I work from home. I am available to watch during the day in my home or before/after work walks or trips to the dog park. Also available to walk or take out during lunch hour. Some overnights or extended stays okay. I don't have any pets of my own. No children at home. Quiet, calm environment. Work from home during day. Large house in quiet neighborhood close to trails and dog parks. I have a dog bed, bowls, and toys. Able to do in home daycare, morning/noon/afternoon walks. Check-ins, etc. Can come to your home, pick up, drop off
About: I've always loved animals. I've helped to walk my families dogs since I was a kid and have always loved hanging out with furry friends. I currently work a full time job but have the weekends free to spend lots of time with your pet. I also have plenty of time on weeknights to still give your baby some love. Keeping your pet feeling comfortable and safe in their home with a new person is extremely important. I seek to provide a stable, as close to normal routine for your pet while you're away.
About: Hi my name is Mackenzie, growing up my family has always had dogs. Growing up in the country, stray animals tend to show up sometimes and my dad was a softie for a fluffy face. Working full time doesn't allow me to spend the time needed to train and take care of a dog, so I'd love to meet yours instead! Proud cat mom for over 8 years but grew up loving dogs. I work fulltime as a nurse and don't have time for caring for a dog so let me play with yours! I normally work 3 days a week so am flexible on when I can walk and play. I have two cats who love dogs. They frequently play with my siblings animals whenever around. My one cat even walked up to a stranger walking their dog down the street. He's always looking for a new friend !

About: I currently volunteer for a dog rescue organization. I have several years of experience training dogs and know how to read dog's cues for aggression, anxiety, and fear. I love walking and training dogs. I won't fetch, but I'll play fetch for hours if your dog desires! I give treats minimally and praise maximally! I'm open to using whatever method you're used to for training your dog. I use a prong collar with my pooch on walks, and know how to properly adjust the fit so the collar sits comfortably on the dog's neck. I own my own home, and have plenty of leashes, collars, and toys to occupy your pooch and make them feel like they've won the dog lottery. I'm mostly available on weekends, and work during the week with some flexibility. I'm situated in Verona near the Westside of Madison!
